Today the state of Texas and SpaceX announced that, contingent upon final approval of local agreements and receipt of additional required permits, the rocket company will build a spaceport in South Texas.

“Texas has been on the forefront of our nation’s space exploration efforts for decades, so it is fitting that SpaceX has chosen our state as they expand the frontiers of commercial space flight,” Gov. Rick Perry said in a news release.
